Upgraded to OSX 10.11 El Capitan, now cannot use MySQL with Python/Django
Solution 1
Happened to me as well. I removed the package, installed mysql using Homebrew and then reinstall the package.
pip uninstall MySQL-python
brew install mysql
pip install MySQL-python
If you run into any issues with brew, be sure to check their troubleshooting page on El Capitan.

And if you have updated Xcode, open 1 time Xcode for agreement the licence.

I have a Python/Django project that I manage using PyCharm. Everything was working perfectly under Mac OSX Yosemite. This morning I upgraded to the final release version of El Capitan, now I cannot run the project. The error I get is:
Error loading MySQLdb module: No module named MySQLdb
I've tried all the suggestions from past questions, but none has resolved it. The most common suggestion seems to be:
sudo pip install MySQL-python
When I do that, I get:
Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): MySQL-python in /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages
None of the other suggestions help either. I can try reinstalling MySQL, but I don't think it's the MySQL that's broken. This might have something to do with permissions. Can anyone please help get me going again?
